The Hope Foundation is a registered charity founded in 1999 by Maureen Forrest, who began by sheltering 20 girls living on the streets of Kolkata. It has since grown into a major development organisation for street- and slum-connected children and communities across West Bengal, advocating for their rights and delivering child protection, education and sponsorship, healthcare, and livelihood/vocational-training programmes. The Foundation currently runs dozens of projects spanning education, healthcare, protection, life skills and emergency response, supported by sister fundraising foundations in Ireland, the UK and the US.
